The island nation in the Indian Ocean is known for its luxury resorts, and the tourism industry there has been rocked by the coronavirus pandemic as the country closed its national borders and canceled flights.

In early April, the New York Times reported on life for one couple stuck there on a never-ending honeymoon. "There is nowhere to go. The couple reign like benign yet captive sovereigns over their islet. The days are long and lazy. They sleep in, snorkel, lounge by the pool, repeat," the NYT wrote.

"Everyone says they want to be stuck on a tropical island, until you're actually stuck," Olivia De Freitas told the paper. "It only sounds good because you know you can leave."
